Up North Trip

It all began on the street, to the back of a blue police vehicle
 Next come the bookings, the way things is looking
 It's Friday, you in for a long stay
 Getting shackled on the bus first thing come Monday
 Hoping in your mind you'll be released one day
 But knowing, home is a place you're not going for a long while
 Now you're up on the Isle
 And the position that you in got you refusing to smile
 But keep in mind, there's a brighter day, after your time spent
 Used to be wild, but locked up, you can't get bent
 Thought you could hack it, now you're requesting PC
 You're fragile, it ain't hard to see
 Niggas like that don't associate with me
 I'd rather, get busy to the third degree
 'Cause the war in population's on infinitely
 If this was the street, my razor would be a MAC demon
 Hit you up, leave your whole face screaming
 What you in for kid, busting nuts?
 Cats heard of me in street stories caught inside this trap
 Who are you to look at me with your eyes like that?
 Wisen up, young blood, before you make things escalate
 And I would hate to set your crooked ass straight
 Make your moves at night
 Pack your heat in this war zone, niggas is trife
 Running from one-time, ain't no time to slip
 Make one false move and it's a up north trip
 Living the high life, make your moves at night
 Pack your heat in this war zone, niggas is trife
 Running from one-time, ain't no time to slip
 Make one false move and it's a up north trip
 You tried to dip, duck, but still got bucked
 You talk too much shit, you shoulda kept your mouth shut
 All that gossip, motherfucker, don't you know my Glock kicks
 Hollow tips, to your body, mad toxic
 I fade you, blow you with a rusty-ass razor
 Did you a favor, tried to wet you but I graze you
 Pop goes the Glock when there's beef on the block
 Chill for a while, make them think the beef stop
 Then I creep like a thief in the night, it's only right
 Ain't no turning back, it's on tonight
 And if I get caught, then my ass is up north
 Straight on a course for upstate New York
 Stressed, smoking back-to-back cigarettes
 It popped off, one point in the mess hall
 But to avoid that, from head-to-toe dipped in all black
 Hit them niggas where they pump they cracks at
 Havoc, with the murder master plan
 Keep my nine up to par so my shit won't jam
 God forbid if my shit do, run behind a tree
 Fix my shit then hit you
 Slugs in your body, mainly in your brain tissue
 Ditch from the scene, get ghost, stash the pistol, so simple
 Then, watch my back, lay up and relax
 Roll a sack, K-A black, find a shorty to tap
 Living the high life, make your moves at night
 Pack your heat in this war zone, niggas is trife
 Running from one-time, ain't no time to slip
 Make one false move and it's a up north trip
 Living the high life, make your moves at night
 Pack your heat in this war zone, niggas is trife
 Running from one-time, ain't no time to slip
 Make one false move and it's a up north trip
 I got the power, combine wit' the powder, and water
 It oughta, drop in a half and hour
 In the, form of oil, watch the cocaine boil
 Keep my eye on it so the shit won't spoil
 Then I pause... and ask God why
 Did he put me on this Earth just so I could die?
 I sit back and build on all the things I did wrong
 Why I'm still breathing, and all my friends gone
 I try not to dwell on the subject for a while
 'Cause I might get stuck in this corrupt lifestyle
 But my, heart pumps foul blood through my arteries
 And I can't turn it back, it's a part of me
 Too late for crying, I'm a grown man struggling
 To reach the next level of life without fumbling down or folding
 I got no shoulder to lean on but my own
 All alone in this danger zone
 Time waits for no man, the streets grow worse
 Fuck the whole world, kid, my money comes first
 'Cause I'm out for the gusto, and trust nobody
 If you're not family, then you die by me
 'Cause niggas will have you locked up, the snitch be your man
 Giving police the run down on your plans
 But never going down like that
 So I, shut my mouth and hold my words back
 Illegal business, forever mines, fuck paying taxes
 The last kid that shitted and gave police access
 To my blueprints, used names as evidence
 Skipped town and I haven't seen the snitch nigga ever since
 The moral of the story is easy to figure out
 A lesson that you can't live without
 Living the high life, make your moves at night
 Pack your heat in this war zone, niggas is trife
 Running from one-time, ain't no time to slip
 Make one false move and it's a up north trip
 Living the high life
